Focus Shift Mode with third party lenses on D850, Z7, Z6

Good Day,


Is Focus Shift Mode limited to AF-S native lenses like on D850?

or, could new lenses by Sigma/others work with Nikon's Focus Shift Mode feature on D850, Z7, Z6?


Thank you

Hello Alexander,

I’ve never used focus shift with my Z6, but I found this short thread on DPReview (https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62089489) that might be of interest to you. To summarize, some lenses will work, others might not work properly...
I started that DPR thread after having some issues with Sigma lenses. The solution for Sigma lenses was:

"In focus shift shooting (FSS) menu increase Interval until next shot from 0" to 1"."

Some Tamron lenses do not focus with Z cameras and therefore FSS does not work at all. Tamron 90mm Macro seems to work, but have not tested it much yet.
